Question

Find the coordinates of midpoint of seg PQ with P( 2.5, -4.3) & Q (-1.5,2.7)

Answer 1

Answer:

(0.5, -0.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since midpoint divides the line PQ into ratio of 1:1

let midpoint be R with coordinates (x,y).

P( 2.5, -4.3) be x1 , y1 and Q (-1.5,2.7) be x2, y2

so , using Section formula,

x = (x1 + x2) / 2

  = (2.5 + (-1.5) )/ 2

  = 1/2 = 0.5

y = (y1 + y2)/ 2

 = (-4.3 + 2.7)/2

= - 1.6 / 2

= - 0.8

midpoint = (0.5, -0.8)
